TIP: An administrator needs to enable the ELD Bluetooth display peripheral on the HOS line on the mobile device template and send the configuration to the onboard computer. This will make the asset with the relevant onboard computer visible over Bluetooth and you can simply select it from your EasyELD device.
Please note that Bluetooth must be enabled on your mobile device to remain ELD-compliant.
- On the Hours of Service landing page, tap CONNECT. This will scan for assets in the signed-in driver’s organization. Remember that your asset’s ignition must be turned on and that you do not have a Comms switch engaged.
- A list will display all assets within range and will be ordered on proximity. 1. Tap the asset in the list that you would like to connect to.
- If you cannot find the asset in the list, make sure the ignition is on and that you are within Bluetooth range of the asset. 1. Tap TRY AGAIN to rescan.
- If another driver is already connected to this asset, the app will warn you that there is a driver currently logged into this vehicle, you can tap YES to become the new active driver, or NO to be added as the co-driver. The other driver will automatically be changed to the co-driver if you set yourself as the active driver.
- The app will also warn you if you are still connected to another asset and allow you to either LOG OUT of the previous asset or CONNECT to the other asset and scan for it instead. 1. Confirm your duty status to On duty not driving (or Yard moves if you are already on duty) by tapping YES. Or remain in your current duty status by tapping NO. 2. You will now see the description of the connected asset in the Identified as a driver of vehicle : section.
